Hello,

I have making in an Excel-sheet a DDE-link Topic between RSLinx Classic and a PLC5/25 processor.
When the value in the cel of the sheet changes, a macro will running for to do some handlings.
This take about 3 seconds.
Problem is that sometimes, when I working with RSLogix5 (with is also installed on the same PC) to do
some online programming, the Excel application is hanging at the moment that the macro is running.
I see this because the cursur is changing in a Hourglasses so the macro is running.
What can I do to help this problem?
When I not working on the pc everything is allright.

Greetings,

mulderm
